Serving Scarborough, ME and nearby towns
Commercial properties in Maine usually get a big spring clean of sidewalks, entrances and parking areas to remove sand, salt and winter litter, and many schedule a second visit in the fall.
Near the coast, salt air leaves a film on siding, windows, screens and railings that dulls finishes and speeds up corrosion on metal. Regular rinsing and washing help protect them.

How much does post-construction cleanup cost in Scarborough, ME?

Do you use high pressure for post-construction cleanup?
Post-Construction Cleanup is usually done with pressure wash and detail cleaning, with the pressure adjusted for each surface. Delicate surfaces nearby, such as siding, windows and plants, are protected or cleaned with lower pressure.
Is post-construction cleanup safe for my plants and pets?
We pre-wet plants and lawns, keep cleaning solutions diluted to what the surface needs, and rinse landscaping again when we finish. Keep pets and children inside until surfaces are rinsed and dry.
How often should I schedule post-construction cleanup?
Once, at the end of the project. Shade, nearby trees, humidity and heavy traffic mean more frequent cleaning; sunny, dry spots can go longer. Our free cleaning frequency tool gives a recommendation for your climate.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn't stop most washing, but heavy rain, high wind, lightning and freezing temperatures do. If the weather isn't right, we reschedule at no charge. Our work is backed by a satisfaction guarantee.
